Doubtless a PR exercise but I do give Adonis some credit for getting out of his office and seeing for himself - not something many of his predecesssors have done. However, I would have been more impressed if he'd just gone and done it "under cover" leaving the press coverage until it was all over.

And buy your own ticket,
Might make thems in charge think a bit more about travelling by rail if they realised how much it costs.
Can't afford train tickets on a pension.

I was going to say you can use your bus pass to get some rail fares half price Gandalf but I see your nearest railway station(Huntingdon)is some miles away.

So it will have to be Shadowfax to the rescue.

There could have been a spot the Adonis competition.

When you see him you say "You're Lord Adonis & I claim my free rail ticket"
